    hey all,

    i'm still floating about, have had all my holidays now so have hopefully done all the increasing of debt that i have to do ... will need to sit back down and figure out exactly how much i owe and take it from there ... i think that is the plan for the weekend

    have still been working on getting a new job and working on my health so things have been busy, but very hectic

    hope you are all well

    so we have deff added to our debt big time, we went out yesterday and bought a new car hence we now have a car loan to pay ...

    dont get me wrong the car we currently have is dangerous so we needed a new one and with me being a shift worker i need a very reliable one for the night shift

    so i have done more calculations and worked out budgets and it is going to be tight , i will have to get a new job and in the mean time i will need to do overtime

    but the intention is still to get debt free within my 100 month plan ... and to have savings i will need to work hard at it and life isnt going to be a breeze but we will get there ... so off to update my totals
